One of the first animations ever – beautifully hand-coloured

Based on the comic strip Little Nemo and named after its creator, this short (better known as Little Nemo) entitled “Winsor McCay, the Famous Cartoonist of the N.Y. Herald and His Moving Comics” was created exactly 100 years ago in 1911. The first part is McCay building the characters and the animation starts at about the 8:11 mark. [via]
